Research Reference — Human Practice

269 practices from ten lenses, each with the mechanism that makes it work. The mechanism matters more than the label: a rule whose mechanism you cannot state is a rule you cannot safely modify for a different kind of writer.

Research Reference — Candidate Rules

Research Reference — Candidate Rules

120 rules proposed across the ten lenses. The 39 in 02-the-rules.md were selected from these for being load-bearing, checkable, and distinctive to an LLM author. The rest are kept because selection was a judgment call and a later book may want a different cut — several of these are stronger than what was chosen, but too expensive or too narrow for a constitution.

Research Reference — What a Human Novelist Cannot Do

116 instruments that exist only for an author who can instantiate readers, withhold context from itself, measure its own corpus, and revise without cost. This is the half of the method that is not compensation for a deficit. Several of these have no equivalent in the craft literature because nobody has ever been able to run them.

Research Reference — Forensic Audits of the Corpus

Four audits of the four finished novels: the defect ground truth, the idiolect, the production process, and the voice. 67 findings, each with file-level evidence.

Research Reference — Summary

Ten research lenses surveyed how human novelists actually work — story architecture, drafting practice, revision systems, sentence craft, voice and psychic distance, character and desire, reader-experience engineering, story bibles and the writers’ room, the cognitive science of composition, and the failure taxonomy of the market. Each practice was then assessed against the specific ways an LLM author differs.
